QPR sign Danish midfielder Madsen

Nicolas Madsen made 71 appearances for Westerlo, scoring 16 goals

QPR have signed Danish midfielder Nicolas Madsen from Belgian club Westerlo for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old is the west London club's eighth summer signing.

The length of the contract has not been specified and the transfer is subject to him obtaining a visa.

Madsen began his career in Denmark at Midtjylland, where he made 35 appearances, and spent the 2021-22 season on loan at Heerenveen in the Netherlands.

He moved to Westerlo in 2022, scoring 16 goals in 71 appearances.

"I am a very technical player even though I am also quite tall," he told the club's website.

"Last season I played as a six, eight and 10, and it gives me the flexibility to perform in all these positions."

The R's have one point from their opening two Championship games and host Plymouth Argyle at Loftus Road on Saturday.
